Light-Up-Lifts are similar to Glow Blocks, identical-looking items also introduced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii that the player character can carry with them.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Light Blocks are encountered in World 5-Ghost House only. They appear as moving nearly invisible blocks at first (which look similar to Empty Blocks from Super Mario World), but if Mario or any other character hits a nearby ? Switch, the blocks temporarily glow and keep moving. These blocks can be used for both lighting the way and means of transportation.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Light Blocks are objects in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. They appear in Light Blocks, Dark Tower and retain their function from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

In New Super Luigi U, Light-Up-Lifts appear only in Light-Up-Lift Tower, introducing their current name.

Minecraft[edit]

In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Redstone Lamps are replaced by Light-Up-Lifts.
